Twitter Tips for Everyone
1. Twitter for
everyone
The Definitive Guide :-)
by Luca Filigheddu
CEO of Twimbow, Inc.
2. Twitter is a place full of
people
Twitter is a virtual place full
of people who are saying
something or who are just
listening to others.
3. How many people?!?
LOTS.
Like any place full of people,
you are not interested to
listen to everyone who is
speaking.
4. Ok, so what???
Your main “timeline” will be
filled with messages sent by
the users you follow or by
messages sent by users that
people you follow “endorse”
and re-propose to you
(retweet)
5. Twitter is all about...
sharing stuff
discussion and
interaction
discovering great content
6. What can I do?
On Twitter, you can write
your thoughts, share a news
or simply write how you feel.
7. Who is listening???
If no one is following you,
your messages get lost.
When you start using Twitter,
your “followers” count will be 0.
At the beginning, it’s kinda
frustrating but it is normal :-)
8. Talk to someone!
If you put @username before the
message you want to send to the
user “username”, this user will
see your message among the
others and it will get his/her
attention.
9. They are listening to you!!!
Messages to other users with
"@username" are public and
everyone who follows both you
and @username can read it.
So make sure you are writing
something that can be public :-)
10. Get people follow you
Start interacting with people you
decided to follow, this could be a
good way to get their attention
and make them follow you.
Some will follow you back just
because you followed them.
11. Want lots of followers?
....then tweet in english (if
you can).
Otherwise tweet in your own
language, but you are
limiting your audience.
12. Follow wisely
Don’t follow crap. Period.
Follow users you are really
interested in and that can bring
value.
Follow people who add value to
you, in various forms (learning,
knowledge or just because they
13. Hey, I want followers!!!
Increasing your followers is
not an easy task, it takes
time, but try not to get
frustrated for this and keep
posting what you want.
14. Don't follow back
I can be very interested in what
you say. You are not necessarily
interested in what I say.
Don't follow someone just
because he/she is following you.
Make sure he/she brings value.
15. It can be private...
Twitter is also a place where you
can exchange private messages
(called “DM” or Direct
Messages) with other users.
In case you use a smartphone, it
could be a great replacement of
SMS.
16. Get news
Almost all blogs and newspapers
post to Twitter, too, so you can
use it as an RSS reader
Twitter is a great source of news
17. Share news
A good way to become an
interesting person to be followed
is to share news.
Use the Twitter button
(available almost everywhere) or
any other tool that lets you share
stuff on Twitter.
18. Listen to what others say
Keep track of what's going on
Find people who like what you like
Discover new friends
20. Bonus 1/2
How to follow thousands
people effectively???
Use lists
Pick your favorites and make a
list of max 100 people. Choose
another group and make another
list. Re-Iterate.
Follow your lists one at a time
21. Bonus 2/2
How to get more followers?

who are not following you
